THOR’S DAY RANT: Michael Vick- Public Enemy #1?!
Doggone it, I am sick and tired of hearing about Michael Vick. The guy fought dogs. He was convicted. I get it. Can we move on now? No, we can’t- see the bleeding heart animal nuts keep beating this dead horse (or is that, dog). The man has paid his debt to society. Of course, [...]
Walt Disney: Can you hire a decent director???
I love dramatic reenactment — skits, plays and, of course, movies. My love most likely stems from the creative side of me. You see, when I watch a movie, I always want to see, hear, feel and smell what the writer and director are trying to convey. And, I want to be “in” the story. [...]
U.S. Congress: On the Battlefield
The shotgun is loaded… This could be the end… Just one minor mistake, and in just a fraction of a second, it will all be over. Minds are calculating — hearts are racing. Who will be standing in the end? Who will live another day? Who will be the one that will ultimately proclaim, “VICTORY!”? [...]
The Master’s Tournament: Golf’s “masters” fall short
At the ripe old age of 48, Kenny Perry has yet to win a major golf tournament. That was to change this past weekend in Augusta, Georgia as Perry began the fourth and final round of The Master’s Tournament with the lead. Like we have seen many times, Tiger Woods came from seven strokes down [...]
North Carolina, Louisville: College basketball teams say, “Show me the moxie!”
Just a year ago, North Carolina Tar Heel fans were writhing in anticipation. Like a pack of coyotes, they were hungrily salivating and yapping all around the country as they awaited the answer to one of the most significant questions in college basketball: would Tyler Hansbrough forego his senior season and bolt to the NBA? [...]
Woods a man of true hope and inspiration
Once in a generation, a unique and inspiring individual comes along, a person that brings hope to all people, but especially instills ambition in the hearts of young Americans. Oftentimes, this person will transcend racial, cultural and economic barriers to become a timeless icon, forever etched in world history. I’m talking about a man whose [...]
Mammoths: ultimate big game may have been victimized by something other than man
One of the more popular depictions of the mammoth’s extinction is that associated with ancient hunters. Perhaps the popularity of this idea can best be traced to a series of novels by Jean Auel, one of which is called “The Mammoth Hunters.” Nothing tantalizes the imagination better than a well-crafted supporting image. The front cover [...]
The Age Of Endarkenment
Here’s a twist: “The lights are off, but everybody’s home!” That could just be the new slogan that saves the planet from all possible disasters both known and unknown. I like it. So, do you feel cooler today after the world shut its lights off for an hour night before last? If all went as [...]
A great reason to vote for Hillary Clinton
From the AP: “[Bill] Clinton pitched the Penn State ties of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday during a stop in State College, reminding the mostly youthful audience that her father and brother both played football at Penn State.” Yeah, and as all of you politically astute folks know, that’s a real good reason to [...]
Is there any clemency left for drug ‘abusers’?
Okay, someone please explain to me what the big deal is about Roger Clemens using steroids. No wait; better yet, please explain to me why it’s a big deal Clemens used drugs, but it isn’t that Osama Barama Bananafana Barack did? I just don’t get it. Clemens used illegal steroids to build muscle mass, that [...]
